PHILLY POPS SPREAD CHRISTMAS CHEER IN JULY—GIVING AWAY HUNDREDS OF BIKES TO CHILDREN OF MILITARY AND FIRST RESPONDERS

Jul 19, 2016

On July 19, the Philly POPS, in coordination with Comcast NBCUniversal, Amazon, L’Oréal, National HR and a number of private donors, gave hundreds of bicycles and helmets to children of members of the military, Philadelphia police and fire departments – simultaneously at Comcast Center in Philadelphia and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey.

Christmas in July marks the on-sale date for tickets to the POPS’ widely-attended Christmas concert series in December – shows that almost completely sold out in 2015.

Children were bursting with excitement about receiving new bikes—some immediately riding them around the plaza. Santa and the Police and Fire Commissioners gave tips on riding bikes for the younger kids.
